Being 59

Today is my birthday and I am now in the last year of my fifties. Celebrate with me, have some

cake.

The year I was born, 1951, people looked like this but

in the 1960s things started to change, thankfully. I have been fortunate enough to have lived through some of the most important decades in history. Not everything in my personal life or the World has been good during my time here but it's certainly been interesting and

being in the company of these ladies, all of whom I can call peers isn't so bad.

So here's to another 59 which will make me 118. To think, next year I will get a bus pass.
